KEYWORD

fan, Japonisme, portrait, woman.

TITLE

Neither Whistler's title nor any early title have been recorded. A descriptive title has therefore been given:
'A young woman with a fan (2011, Whistler Etching Project).

DESCRIPTION

The faint portrait of a young woman, probably seated, in profile to right, holding a large Asian fan. Her hair is wavy and abundant, and is pulled back loosely.

SITTER

Not identified. The plate was acquired in Paris, so the portrait may have been done in France.
